Everytime I think of Dean, I can't help but think of the many time that I would run up on him out on the road, we would go in and grab a bite to eat and tell a few jokes and compair knives. I'm sorry for your loss, you will be in my prayers asking God to reach down his hand of comfort on all of you during this time.
